Just a simple panda who thinks eye balls and brains are cool. Opinions are my own.

Here's what #PDXtraffic can expect from crews into the evening. Our goal is to get as many stalled vehicles off of the interstate, clean up what's remaining of the ice and slush, and prepare to sand all night - because most likely deicers will not work in these conditions. #orwx

It was really fun to host my first episode of the AAO Experts InSight podcast! Check out this interview with Drs. Donna Kim and Maggie Hymowitz on the new field of ophthalmic hospitalists!⁩ #podcast #ophthalmichospitalist #ophthalmology https://t.co/1BPzTDc6ML

Had fun chatting with @AnitaAKohliMD about acute (non-transient) monocular vision loss as well as acute binocular vision loss. Hopefully this gives a good basic framework when in clinic or on consults.

@Eyes4Ears I may be biased, but I vote for as many episodes with Dr. Trobe as he is willing to do! 😊

Sometimes to figure out the cause of vision loss, we have to go to the basics. Check out this great video on embryology of the eye. It’s also a great review for the upcoming ophtho boards (good luck!).

Unfitted face masks can simulate visual field progression in ~6% of tests, mainly inferior hemifield & increased fixation losses. Use a surgical mask with an adhesive tape covering the superior border may reduce mask-related artefacts! https://t.co/zGl97OjUDb #GlaucomaMonitoring

I think all women in medicine should watch this, especially female trainees.

This is an incredibly powerful talk. Dr. Trinh artfully articulates the daily experiences of women in medicine that gnaw at our self-esteem and sheds light on the subtle ways that we all contribute to the culture that perpetuates female imposter syndrome. https://t.co/hxT1WoOKVt

Watching this video has inspired me to reflect on the ways I have unconsciously acted with gender bias, to strive to be a better example to my juniors, and to reframe the way I evaluate my success and failures.

@ayzhang1 @macularstar @UNCOphtho Thank you!!

[Amanda Redfern @med_panda]

@ayzhang1 @macularstar @UNCOphtho Content like this should definitely be shared with the greater ophthalmology community. It takes a community effort to make the necessary changes. Please consider this and let us know if/when a recording of this talk is posted. 🙏🏼
